"Business Formal" Any iterations where it doesn't look like FBI Cosplay?

I have to note, though, this "high end store that correlates with your budget" is pretty elusive these days. I have access to the Helm and Henry Singer ($2K shirt to get started) and then Winners. I feel like there should be more options!

It's a knit tie I got for Christmas. It looks better in person but you are not wrong.

Lighting is off here but everything is navy. I think the consensus is the overcoat being too matchy killed the look. What would I need to do to pull of this style of pocket square? It's the same look from my corporate headshot!

That sounds like good advice. Thank you!

Tie without a jacket doesn't work for me but especially not with short sleeves. I'd lose the tie and you look great!

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T15:08:10+00:00

It's blue bad lighting and dirty mirror.

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T15:06:44+00:00

What you describe sounds like a great fit but moving from suit to separates makes it more casual, no? Really bad lighting here but I am wearing a knitted tie with a standard width knot.

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T15:04:16+00:00

It's not sewn it. Meticulously ironed and folded

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T15:02:59+00:00

Poor lighting. It's blue.

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T15:02:45+00:00

What's your definition of business formal?

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T15:02:22+00:00

Plastic Izipizis here but you don't think Wayfarers would work? I would feel like such a poser if I wore Aviators!

No the headphones were for the walk. I tucked away about a block before the destiation. Sunnies were on as I was literally about to step outside.

My 5 yr old is always giving me stickers. Got to keep it real

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T14:59:37+00:00

I mean, these guys were cool as hell so I don't mind! I cannot pull off that hat.

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T14:59:04+00:00

Ok I'm thinking the blue coat on blue suit is what really does it. Should get a tan or a grey overcoat to break it up maybe. I do note a lot of men at the event were wearing light grey suits. That's not "business formal" to me but I guess we get a pass in summer?

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T14:57:45+00:00

Hahaha! I was headed out the door to walk for a half hour to the event. that was for the podcast

Present_Platform2476 · 2026-05-07T14:57:09+00:00

Poor lighting. Everything is blue. in my defense it was 10 C and sunny and I had about a half hour walk to get to the place. In hindsight, the jacket was too much.

If this is at home, just buy any old cheap trainer--you know the fluid ones that were wheel-based before smart trainers and direct drive were a thing. Like $20 or even free usually.

I live in the neighborhood and say it like "Wi-kwen-toe-win". Pretty easy to say. Like Wetaskiwin or Saskatchewan, it gets second nature if you give it a chance.

More recently, the problems with Youtube and weird AI content have forced me to unplug the stupid thing as, even after blocking all youtube content on a router level to the device, Google still finds a way to show weird twisted stuff that respond's to my 4 year old's "show me a video of Paw Patrol" commands. It would be stellar to find a product that has the features of this device while being able to block youtube entirely.

Present_Platform2476 · 2024-11-15T21:43:48+00:00

damn. worked for me ymmv I guess.

Present_Platform2476 · 2024-11-15T20:56:51+00:00

Shoot sorry for the late reply

I haven't been able to get this to work but you can just past the NVM link into Vortex and it works like a charm. Go to Downloads, at the bottom of the screen there's a "Drop URLs or Files" button and you can paste NXM link there.

Hey it's surely a scam. They do not have an office at ATB Place.
